Tarp pitching possibilities are endless? I'm not so sure. These 14 pitches are all the realistic ones that I'm aware of for the small solo tarp. Let me know if I missed one! Larger square or rectangular flat tarps are a different story: I tried about 40 pitches with the 10x10 foot tarp that you can see in some of my other video's and there sure are a lot more.
My tarp is a dd superlight solo tarp, 280 by 145 cm (about 9 by 5 ft) and I am 6 ft 4 or 194 cm.
Pitches are lean to, lean to with lip, modified lean to, modified a frame, tetra wedge, a frame toque tent, mushroom fly, a frame, V fly, V fly with lip, double pole holden, holden tent, cave, asymmetrical holden.

Set up a tarp as tent with ground sheet. Attractive idea, but TRY THESE TIPS. In this video I show the Holden tent with floor, also known as the Kennel, the floored double pole Holden and the floored asymmetrical Holden. Tarp is a DD hammocks 3 by 3 meter tarp. The tips are:
1: grow tent, shrink ground sheet
2: breeze or freeze
3: tuck it in
4: in the gutter
5: mysterious trees.
With the coming videos on floored tarp pitches, just like with the videos on the solo rectangular tarp, my goal is to give a complete list of possible and realistic pitches. I will include some pitches that I personally don't like, to show pitfalls.

With the coming videos on floored tarp pitches, just like with the videos on the solo rectangular tarp, my goal is to give a complete list of possible and realistic pitches. I will include some pitches that I personally don't like, to show pitfalls.

Set up a tarp as tent with ground sheet. Attractive idea, but TRY THESE TIPS. In this video I show the Holden tent with floor, also known as the Kennel, the floored double pole Holden and the floored asymmetrical Holden. Tarp is a DD hammocks 3 by 3 meter tarp. The tips are:
1: grow tent, shrink ground sheet
2: breeze or freeze
3: tuck it in
4: in the gutter
5: mysterious trees.

How I StormPitch my Zpacks Cuben Fiber 8.5x8.5 Tarp.
My Daughter and I spent the night in this setup.There was plenty of room in the tarp for the 2 of us and our gear. It rained and we woke up completely dry and comfortable. I did place my GoLite umbrella in the opening because I was a little worried about water splashing in but it ended up not being necessary.

I didn't mention the stakes I use, they are 6in titanium stakes from Vargo. 14 stakes come in at 3oz total and would all be used in bad weather conditions.

This is using an off the shelf 9x9 tarp from Off the self Oware (http://shop.bivysack.com/FlatTarp25-9x9-1TarpFlat-25-9x9.htm)
I use (6) 4' lines, (4) 8' lines and (1) 12' line in various combinations to make these different pitches - gives you great flexibility in setups.
Tarp weighs in at 16oz, all the lines mentioned above plus 10 TI stakes (8 Shepherd hooks and 2 v-shaped stakes) weigh about 5 oz for a total shelter of about 21oz.

Bushcraft Origami - The 10 Best Tarp Setups

I don´t know if it really is 10 setups and I don´t know if they are the very best, but it sounds cool. There are many small tweaks that can be made to these setups to make them work in different scenarios. Just be creative! If any of you know any setups that you think is better, please let me know.
I guess that with a different shaped tarp there would be other options. In this video my tarp is 3x3 meter.

Bushcraft Shelters: Hammock & Tarp Setup

If your out camping or practicing Bushcraft & Survival skills you may be considering a Hammock & Tarp setup to keep you off the damp ground and keep you comfortable. They are especially useful in humid hot jungle environments were the jungle floor can be a hive of insect activity and air flow is key to comfort. They are also very useful in water logged terrain keeping you off the boggy floor.
I use one when I'm teaching courses over a long period of time and I'm sleeping in the woods back to back. This is my setup and how it works.

Aqua Quest Defender Camo Tarp Review and the Prairie Storm Pitch

This is a review of the AquaQuestDefenderCamoTarp. The Defender Camo Tarp is the smaller version of the Aqua Quest King Camo. It is Nine Feet Six Inches by Six Feet Six Inches. I review the tarp and set it up in a no ridge line pitch, and offer some casual chat about why I prefer a TPU Coated Nylon Tarp to plastic, pvc, poly, or even canvas tarps.
I have another video featuring this tarp. If you want a very, very thorough look at the construction and features, please see Aqua Quest Defender Camo vs DD 3X3 Multicam - I get some nice close shots of the tie outs, reinforcement, and ridge line construction in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNgkyI4JBb4

Don't set up a regular Lean To, make this offset Lean To from a 10 x 10 square tarp. PART ONE. By twisting 45 degrees you can greatly expand your protection. This is a LIVE session, with only major camera moves edited out. I'm a big fan of square tarps due to the many ways they can be erected.

MLD Cuben Trailstar, 2nd pitch, various heights.

I took 5 videos of my MLD pitching and just about managed to cobble them all together in this one long video. Thought a long video better than 5 shorter ones!
It shows the Cuben Trailstar in a few different height options. I am very happy with the Trailstar and will be even happier once I really get the hang of it. Its the sides being slightly floppy that "annoy" me more than anything until its pitches very low, then the sides become quite taught. But as I say in the video the higher the less critical taughness is, I think.
Stop / A = 50"/128cm.
8/Pacer = 41"/104cm.
4/Pacer = 36"/92cm.

Aqua Quest Defender Camo 10X10 Waterproof Tarp. It is SUPURB!

This is a good look at the brand new for 2016 AquaQuestDefenderCamo 10X10 tarp. Aqua Quest recently released new sizes of their existing outdoor tarp products plus a whole new line of tarps. This Defender Camo 10X10 is the newest addition to their most durable, heavy duty, camping, hiking, bushcrafting, hammock camping etc tarps. It is a perfect personal shelter sized waterproof tarp and is truly the most durable, bomb-proof tarp of this type on the market... and now it comes in what I think is the most useful size of 3X3 meters or close to 10X10'.
The best price for the Aqua Quest Defender 10X10 is usually on Amazon and if you use this link, it helps me out. Thanks! http://amzn.to/2bzWWI3

I took 5 videos of my MLD pitching and just about managed to cobble them all together in this one long video. Thought a long video better than 5 shorter ones!
It shows the Cuben Trailstar in a few different height options. I am very happy with the Trailstar and will be even happier once I really get the hang of it. Its the sides being slightly floppy that "annoy" me more than anything until its pitches very low, then the sides become quite taught. But as I say in the video the higher the less critical taughness is, I think.
Stop / A = 50"/128cm.
8/Pacer = 41"/104cm.
4/Pacer = 36"/92cm.

This is a good look at the brand new for 2016 AquaQuestDefenderCamo 10X10 tarp. Aqua Quest recently released new sizes of their existing outdoor tarp products plus a whole new line of tarps. This Defender Camo 10X10 is the newest addition to their most durable, heavy duty, camping, hiking, bushcrafting, hammock camping etc tarps. It is a perfect personal shelter sized waterproof tarp and is truly the most durable, bomb-proof tarp of this type on the market... and now it comes in what I think is the most useful size of 3X3 meters or close to 10X10'.
The best price for the Aqua Quest Defender 10X10 is usually on Amazon and if you use this link, it helps me out. Thanks! http://amzn.to/2bzWWI3

14 tarp pitches with solo tarp. Bushcraft, survival, ultralight!

Tarp pitching possibilities are endless? I'm not so sure. These 14 pitches are all the realistic ones that I'm aware of for the small solo tarp. Let me know if I missed one! Larger square or rectangular flat tarps are a different story: I tried about 40 pitches with the 10x10 foot tarp that you can see in some of my other video's and there sure are a lot more.
My tarp is a dd superlight solo tarp, 280 by 145 cm (about 9 by 5 ft) and I am 6 ft 4 or 194 cm.
Pitches are lean to, lean to with lip, modified lean to, modified a frame, tetra wedge, a frame toque tent, mushroom fly, a frame, V fly, V fly with lip, double pole holden, holden tent, cave, asymmetrical holden.

How To Stay Dry Under A Tarp

How do you stay dry under a tarp? How do you not get wet under a tarp? How do you avoid getting water running under your tarp? How to stop rain coming under a tarp? How to stop water coming under my tarp? All these questions are variations on a theme that have been asked of me for the #AskPaulKirtley show. I've also received some fairly dumb comments on other videos here on YouTube. So in this excerpt of #AskPaulKirtley Episode 35, I talk through intelligent tarp placement. In particular I look at macro factors and micro factors you need to consider in order to stay dry...Watch the full episode of #AskPaulKirtley 35 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4cbC-nxwSw

Holden tent variations with floor, 5 tips for floored tarp pitches

Set up a tarp as tent with ground sheet. Attractive idea, but TRY THESE TIPS. In this video I show the Holden tent with floor, also known as the Kennel, the floored double pole Holden and the floored asymmetrical Holden. Tarp is a DD hammocks 3 by 3 meter tarp. The tips are:
1: grow tent, shrink ground sheet
2: breeze or freeze
3: tuck it in
4: in the gutter
5: mysterious trees.
With the coming videos on floored tarp pitches, just like with the videos on the solo rectangular tarp, my goal is to give a complete list of possible and realistic pitches. I will include some pitches that I personally don't like, to show pitfalls.

Just me and my buddy Nico messing around with different tarp shelter setups for a 3x3 tarp for more luxurious bivvying.

Flat tarp setups using 9x9 tarp

This is using an off the shelf 9x9 tarp from Off the self Oware (http://shop.bivysack.com/FlatTarp25-9x9-1TarpFlat-25-9x9.htm)
I use (6) 4' lines, (4) 8' lines and (1) 12' line in various combinations to make these different pitches - gives you great flexibility in setups.
Tarp weighs in at 16oz, all the lines mentioned above plus 10 TI stakes (8 Shepherd hooks and 2 v-shaped stakes) weigh about 5 oz for a total shelter of about 21oz.

Bushcraft Origami - The 10 Best Tarp Setups

I don´t know if it really is 10 setups and I don´t know if they are the very best, but it sounds cool. There are many small tweaks that can be made to these setups to make them work in different scenarios. Just be creative! If any of you know any setups that you think is better, please let me know.
I guess that with a different shaped tarp there would be other options. In this video my tarp is 3x3 meter.
Here are some of the videos that inspired me to make this video. I guess they explain a little better what I am doing :)

Bushcraft Shelters: Hammock & Tarp Setup

If your out camping or practicing Bushcraft & Survival skills you may be considering a Hammock & Tarp setup to keep you off the damp ground and keep you comfortable. They are especially useful in humid hot jungle environments were the jungle floor can be a hive of insect activity and air flow is key to comfort. They are also very useful in water logged terrain keeping you off the boggy floor.
I use one when I'm teaching courses over a long period of time and I'm sleeping in the woods back to back. This is my setup and how it works.

Aqua Quest Defender Camo Tarp Review and the Prairie Storm Pitch

This is a review of the AquaQuestDefenderCamoTarp. The Defender Camo Tarp is the smaller version of the Aqua Quest King Camo. It is Nine Feet Six Inches by Six Feet Six Inches. I review the tarp and set it up in a no ridge line pitch, and offer some casual chat about why I prefer a TPU Coated Nylon Tarp to plastic, pvc, poly, or even canvas tarps.
I have another video featuring this tarp. If you want a very, very thorough look at the construction and features, please see Aqua Quest Defender Camo vs DD 3X3 Multicam - I get some nice close shots of the tie outs, reinforcement, and ridge line construction in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNgkyI4JBb4
